Come join us for an evening of books and whiskey, tango and connection at this swanky spot in the heart of Fremont!

And wear Something BLUE...

... Something Blue theme night at THE BARREL THIEF!

An interactive book & tango presentation by Seattle-based, world-traveling tango teacher and author of the book WHEN 1+1=1: That "Impossible" Connection, Gabriela Condrea – interactive because you participate in shaping the presentation and because Gabriela loves to throw in some easy partner games to help illustrate the concepts in the book: collaboration & partnership, trust & mutual support, creativity & improvisation, "dancing" like water. The reading will include pieces in English and in Spanish and a few NEW, never-released pieces, too!

WHEN 1+1=1

When 1+1=1: That "Impossible" Connection extrapolates the essence of tango - a powerful metaphor for relationships and connection and partnerships of all kinds. Relayed in a casual, unassuming, conversational tone, the book is accessible and thought-provoking, inspiring people of many disciplines and backgrounds to reflect on their own interactions with those who surround them and journey deeper into themselves. A great coffee table, put on your nightstand or read-a-little-bit-at-a-time book. (And it makes a good holiday present, too!) Sneak preview: excerpts from When 1+1=1
